It is hard to get in the habit of forcing yourself to find three things on a regular basis that you are grateful for.

The biggest surprise, which is also the best, is that I didn't know I would love motherhood as much as I do.

I was brought up Methodist, christened as a little baby and went to church every Sunday.

People who feel positively think differently. They think better.

What I've learned is there's a scientifically proven phenomenon that's attached to gratitude, and that if you consciously take note of what is good in your life, quantifiable benefits happen.

A thankful outlook smoothes the rough edges off life.

Im about as straight an arrow as youll find out there.
